Western Digital My Passport Essential 500GB (USB 3.0)

Put your digital life on the stylishly small WD 500GB My Passport Essential portable hard drive. With WD quality and USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 connectivity, this drive is designed for today with tomorrow in mind.

The WD 500GB My Passport Studio, in black, is ideal for the Mac user on the move, offering a range of great features including super-fast performance, FireWire 800 interface and a useful customisable e-label.

The attractive and compact My Passport Studio will actually allow you to see your backup as it happens, displaying your contents in categories and showing the progress of your copy. It is also capable of automatic continuous back-up, instantly making a second copy whenever you add or change a file.

Retrieving your valuable data is just as easy as backing it up in the first place, using the integrated WD SmartWare software, making it simplicity itself to replace files in their original location. You can personalise backup, restore and many other settings from the WD SmartWare control centre.

The 500GB My Passport Studio offers a revolutionary smart display, which allows you to create your own personalised drive label to remind you of what is stored on the drive, as well as remaining capacity and security status. You can even look at the label when the system is unplugged.

Connection options including FireWire 800 and USB 2.0 guarantee fast performance, however you choose to connect your My Passport Studio, and with full Mac formatting, it is plug-and-play ready for Mac users.

For complete security, you can protect your data from unauthorised access or theft with password protection and 256-bit hardware-based encryption.
